“Weapon X” had been listed in his first year of eligibility and is now one of four semifinalists in their first year’s to have been voted into this stage. Arguably the most dominant defensive player to ever put on an Eagles jersey, Dawkins spent 13 seasons in Philadelphia and was always bound to enter the Hall of Fame, but will he join the immortals this year?

There will be another round of voting in January to narrow this list down to the last 15.
